* Numbering. The records maintained by the Law Library did not originally list or number the terms for which Burton Cross and Nathaniel Haskell served as acting governors.

To be consistent, the numbers should have been adjusted by two making McKernan the 71st Governor and King the 72nd Governor. Inaugural invitations and news clips from that time show that they were identified as the 70th and 71st Governors.
